Born and raised in former Soviet Union, Ukraine, I immigrated to the United States right after my graduation from a music college. Music and psychology were always my passion! After settling in New York, I got my BA at Mercy College and Master’s degree at Hunter College. I was licensed as a Clinical Social Worker after several years of working in a mental health field. I’ve experienced challenges in my life as an immigrant, female, mother, business woman, etc. ... and I enjoy working with my patients, who have challenges of their own.

To consider other life perspectives , with the ultimate goal of forging a sense of hope, healing ...and a new pathway forward . I truly believe that we all have inherent gifts and strengths. However, sometimes we encounter difficulty accessing the power we all have within us to succeed and overcome life's challenges. Everyone is fighting their own unique battle: to be free from the past...to live in the present...and to create their future . You are not alone.

Therapy can be the missing link: to facilitate your healing , to support you in living a healthier life... and in leading a more productive life . Be your authentic self... It would be my honor to assist you in your journey!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with 8 years of experience. I received my Master's of Social Work in 2015 from the University at Buffalo. Early in my career, I gained rigorous clinical experience in an institutional setting treating incarcerated patients presenting with a wide range of mental health diagnoses. I found this experience to be invaluable in developing my clinical skill set. In 2019, I transitioned into private practice where I have the privilege of working with a variety of patients every day. I have experience treating patients with diagnoses that range from depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, substance use disorders, and trauma. Perhaps the most common problem bringing patient's to therapy is their difficulty adjusting to life's challenges. Those challenges can include day to day stress, changes, interpersonal difficulties, and loss. One doesn't need a formal mental health diagnosis to recognize that they are struggling and need support. I tend to approach treatment from a strength's based perspective. From the moment we meet, I will be rooting for you! I hold a core belief that people are extremely resilient and possess many strengths to help them through life's challenges. I offer patient centered therapy with a humanistic approach. I will always believe you are the expert of your own life and take your lead when it comes to your goals in treatment. I'm here as a guide, and can offer you unconditional support, resources, and skills. Thank you for reading this and I do hope our paths cross in the future!

Hi I’m Marie, like the middle name! I became a therapist because I have a passion for helping others and I believe we all need a little extra support sometimes. Life is hard! I have extensive experience in helping clients learn to better manage their stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and more! I provide a safe, supportive space for you to explore your feelings and develop effective coping strategies. I specialize in guiding clients through relationship issues, helping you find motivation, and building self-esteem. I am not a certified art therapist, however, I do enjoy incorporating creative arts in therapy sessions if desired. After a session with me, you can expect to feel supported, have a fresh perspective on things, learn new coping skills, and if desired, be assigned “homework” to work on in between sessions! I typically work Monday-Wednesday & Saturday’s from 8:45am-4:30pm and Sunday’s from 8:45am-12pm. Reach out with any questions, looking forward to working with you!
